Two express AirPort and time capsule connectivity challenge

Dear readers,

I have a Time Capsule 802.11 ac connected to my ISP router and this is the router that provides DHCP addresses, etc. In our living room, I have an airport express (2nd generation) connected via radio and it works very well also. Now I got as a second AE (2nd generation) and want to put it on the floor of the attic to get a stronger signal via Ethernet to my TC. When I connect to a LAN of the TC port to the EI LAN port, the AE salon disconnects. When I add the Ethernet of AE cable in the WAN port both t he AE to the attic and TC disconnected. Currently, it is also connected via radio and it works, but will of course loose flow because it must still go through the different floors through the air compared to a stronger signal via Ethernet.

Question I have, can I connect an AE with an Ethernet cable (and how to set up the AE or TC as a result) and an adverse event via wireless (IE editing exsisting which works, but let me know if you have to configure changes too)?

Your help is very appreciated.

Can question I have, I connect an adverse event with an Ethernet cable (and how to set up the AE or TC as a result)

Yes, but you will need to restart and reset back to default settings AE. Then connect the Ethernet cable between a LAN <>- on the TC port to the "O" of EI before WAN port you are trying to configure EI.

The problem that you are experiencing now is probably caused by connecting an Ethernet cable to an adverse event that has already been configured to "extend a wireless network. When EI is configured this way, is expected to Wireless ... not Ethernet. Ethernet is applied, it creates a feedback loop huge on the network which can cause all sorts of issues.

Wizard Installation from Apple because most of the work for you. Just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and then click on AirPort Express under the title of the new AirPort base station.

When you click on AirPort Express, which will start the configuration "Wizard". It will take a few seconds to analyze the network, and then present a screen that looks like this:

Type a device name you want to call the AE, and then click Next.  Monitor the screen following very closely... See the illustration below to confirm that the AE is set up "extend using Ethernet.  Who will confirm that the wizard picked the Ethernet between the TC and AE and apply the correct settings to EI.

When you see the message Setup is complete, click done and you're done.

If the 'other' AE is already set up to extend, then no further changes will be necessary on this device.

  • Is it possible to use express Airport and Time Capsule both as two Wifi-repeaters at the same time?

    Hello

    I have a time Capsule from the airport. I use it for my back ups and he repeats my wifi in the House (bottom).

    Now I need a Repeater wifi upstairs. I think to buy Airport Express. I will connect the Airport express with a Lan connection on the floor. And then I would also have wifi on the floor.

    But is it possible to use the time Capsule Airport express airport and at the same time: two repeaters-wifi?

    1. I have a Fritz! Box router / wifi (we called wifi Fritz! box)

    2. I have a time Capsule airport / wifi Repeater (we called the turtle wifi)

    3 and now I want Airport express on the floor for the wifi upstairs (another name for this wifi?)

    Is this possible?

    Before I had used TP-link (in socket), but it works for a few months.

    Thank you for your help and advice.

    2. I have a time Capsule airport / wifi Repeater (we called the turtle wifi)

    I think that your terminology wrong... the TC cannot work as a Repeater in the Frtiz.

    I think that you have done is connect via ethernet and run it as wireless... or WAP Access Point. It is perfectly great way to do it.

    3 and now I want Airport express on the floor for the wifi upstairs (another name for this wifi?)

    This is connected by ethernet, then it will work fine... you can call it Expresswifi

    You are certainly going to clutter the wireless channels, you could so be interesting rather than auto setting fastenings.

    2.4 ghz has been set to 1, TC 6 and 11 Express then Frtiz.

    5 GHz is less of a problem... auto should be fine, because the beach is mediocre.

  • The utility Airport and Time Capsule, not appear...

    Hello all! I have an old TC (not sure how old but less than 3 years) which appears in Airport utility on my iPhone but not on my Mac. I have my TC in Bridge mode.

    During the night, we lost our internet connection so this morning, I restarted my modem/router to Comcast. He looked like my TC starts fine but when I open the Airport utility on my Mac it isn't here, but if I open Airport utility on my iPhone 6 is here. I wonder why it appears on one and not the other...

    Thank you for your valuable information and knowledge! Judy

    You only need a device with AirPort Utility installed to be able to administer all the airport on your network routers... and, as you have found... the software on the iOS version of the utility is better than the software on a Mac.

    Thus, an option would be to use Airport utility on the iPad and not to use it on the Mac.

    If you want to keep the AirPort Utility to work on your Mac, there are some settings to check and possibly change that could help with the "airports endangered" issue, who is with us for a few years.  No guarantee that this will help, but it won't hurt either. If you have 10-15 minutes free to work on your Mac, and we'll see what we can do.

  • no more WiFi which extends from the airport express and Time capsule

    I have no more WiFi which extends from the express airport and Time capsule.

    and once it worked...

    airportconfiguration-app also works, but the graphic display allows to have a straight white line. now, it's one interrupted...

    Your unbroken lines in airport show connections ethernet utility... broken lines show the wireless connections.

    So it depends on the extend method you used.

    I think at this moment, things are configured wrongly... for some strange reason things happens and elements on a stand-alone basis, return to a default mode.

    The best way to manage it is full factory reset on everything... and repeat the installation.

    I have no more WiFi which extends from the express airport and Time capsule.

    It seems to me that you extend a NON-APPLE router... in this case, your Apple routers must connect by ethernet and create a wireless network. Routers Apple cannot extend the NON-APPLE router wired.

    The express could extend the TC or visa versa... by wireless...

    Then I suggest say us what is the main router in the network?

    You have connected by ethernet to the TC or Express or both?

    If so please reset completely the two elements and try again. Make sure they are in bridge mode... It's the network tab. Router Mode is turned off.

    And your wireless tab is configured to create a wireless network...

    Use the same name (SSID) and even the security setting and the password as the main router to network roaming (extend wireless ethernet).

    If the Express and transport CANADA are the same, both will have this configuration... If the express extends to wireless then it should NOT be connected to all the way to ethernet... (sequel to wan side at least) and it will be set to expand wireless on the wireless tab.

  • Time capsule - connection problem

    between my IMac and time capsule ethernet cable does not connect. Airport utility cannot find the time capsule. I tried another cable - also unsuccessful. Any suggestions to fix the problem? He had worked so well until I had to unplug from the time capsule.

    First thing, I would recommend checking your TimeCapsule answers correctly, it might be a good idea to take a look at the option of soft reset to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201945

  • Airport the Time Capsule Configuration for desktop?

    I have an airport Time Capsule that I use for support and wireless connectivity to the top of my MacBook Pro.  I have a PC connected to the time Capsule of internet access to the desktop PC.  Is it possible to set up backups from the PC to the time Capsule?

    Usually the time Capsule storage drive is formatted for use with OS X.

    As the old time Capsule (Time Machine backups) are crushed

    by the software as they go obsolete or when runs out of storage space, a

    Backup of Windows files on the same unit would not be a good idea.

    If the 'PC' indicates that your desktop under OS X, then it would

    be able to make backups of the other Mac software Time Machine

    and the total capacity of the unit of the time Capsule may be mitigated by

    the addition of claims on this other machine for the ability of autonomy.

    What is the storage of Time Capsule? I'd look for a separate device

    backup of a Windows system; However if a Mac running Windows, it

    may be possible to set something up for its operating system, other backup players.

    Here is an old source, but good for some information on OS X

    and Time Machine (and time capsule)

    • Apple OS X and Time Machine tips:

  • Airport Extreme, Time Capsule best practices configuration

    I searched for articles showing exactly what are the settings that I would see in my Airport Extreme Time Capsule. I put in place of the years before, but more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times a day. Our internet service provider recently upgraded its network, even though they claim that any slowdown is not their problem. I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs. The Capsule is connected via CAT5 to the modem. All devices can connect wirelessly to the network.

    Base Station name is unique. Network is not hidden. Password is super strong. Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal, just in case the older devices need to connect. In the window of the wireless Options, 5 GHz network name is disabled. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

    I don't know if we're even using the 5 GHz mode. I want to make sure that we are optimizing on the installer. Any help is very appreciated.

    Wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal

    It's bad... AC is optimized to WPA2 and you will suffer significant slow down with WPA1. Even if your TC is former model Wireless N, that customers with AC wireless cards will not work as well.

    Use an AP gradually charge for older clients N or G... almost nothing today will be limited to the WPA1 unless it is very old and very slow.

    Name of the 5 GHz network is unchecked. 2.4 and 5 GHz channels is set to automatic. Router mode network is DHCP and NAT.

    The Apple 2.4 ghz speed limit... and always have.

    You will get the wrong speed on 2.4 ghz and is therefore the only way to improve the speed force customers to 5 GHz that can usefully use it.

    Check the 5 GHz range and give it a different name for the principal name wireless... It's the only way you can force clients to use the 5 GHz.

    How old and exactly which model is the TC? The base A1xxx please if you do not know.

    Age affects things. Routers wireless for some reason any servant of quality have a service life of about 3 years... the TC is actually worse than average... being more stressed to the load of the hard drive.

    I made sure the Time Machine backups do not cause them selfs.

    You actually turn off TM? Sometimes the TM always works, even when people think it's the start.

    more recently WIFI was slow or choked several times per day

    It's what I expected with TM still working on a computer.

  • My macpro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

    If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.

    Good day.

  • SB6141 and Time Capsule works best not Modem?

    I bought an ARRIS / Motorola SB6141 modem yesterday, unfortunately without checking here first of all support and as much I having trouble to get a SB6141 and Time Capsule to cooperate.  The modem works fine with a hard line, but when I plugged in my Time Capsule for the modem I got the dreaded flashing yellow on the TC light. Three hours of reading posts here (and elsewhere) and troubleshooting later and I am still at a loss. Rather than the fight over trying to get the SB6141 to work, I would rather just buy a modem that works (at least mostly) with the TC. I am in the area of Chicago on Comcast. List of approved here modems. Please let me know if you have found a good modem to use with time Capsule. Thanks for any help!

    Additional details - I bought time Capsule 2 TB in March this year and it's all so far (ongoing enforcement, I think, 7.7.3)

    Not on Comcast, but the use of two modems in rotation.

    Zoom 5341J and Netgear CMD31T, who all have both been impeccable since they went into service almost 2 years ago.

    I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

    Hi marinersr,

    I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

    Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

    You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

    If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

    Kind regards

  • the power light comes on is when I power up my Airport Extreme, Time Capsule.

    the power light lights not is more when I place my Airport Extreme, Time Capsule of power, but I hear whirring noises.  I tried to reset the unit but get the same answer

    Sorry, but from your description, it is possible that the power supply to your Time Capsule is defective.

    What exact model of the time Capsule did you? If it is new, you can get it replaced by Apple, especially if you bought it with another Apple product.

  • Extend my cable modem network via Airport express and Time Capsule

    I am trying to expand my home network through my Airport express AND a Time Capsule. Installation of extension through the airport was easy and successful. I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule, but it gives me the opportunity to launch a new network. What do different to fix my Tim Capsule to my global network?

    I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to do what you want... given that the function of "extend a wireless network" Apple will not accept to be extended once the network is not two.

    The other question that you probably, it is that unless your 'main' router is also another router from Apple, the Express is not really 'extension' of the network at all, despite what you think.  More likely, the Express is "membership" in the network. It can be used to connect a USB printer remote in this environment or for use with AirPlay... but the Express doesn't "spread" or "repeat" when he joined the network.

    If you want to check if the Express is really extend the network, and you have a Mac laptop... after back and provide you with a few steps.

    But even if the Express could be the extension of the network... Time Capsule will have to connect to the network using a permanent, wired cables Ethernet... ideally to your main router, but it might work OK if you connect to the Express.

  • our airport time capsule connects to computers and the internet, but does not record on the usefulness of the airport as being there - is it dying or is their a reset?

    Our computers connect via wifi to a capsule of time to the airport and to the internet, but can't find the time capsule, nor can its hard drive. Y at - it a reset, we can try or he dies. It's only a couple of months.

    Turn about your Airport Extreme for 15 seconds and then power back on. As soon as you see the green light, you should be able to see him for a minute or two in the Airport utility. In the affirmative, and see if you have Back to My Mac active. If so, disable it by removing all the e-mail addresses of the back section of my Mac. Then update your Airport Extreme. Work quickly.

    Many have started having this problem within the last week, probably because Apple changed something in its servers CCMM. A real difficulty would come from Apple, but it should work if you currently have active CCMM.
